Luftwaffe Starter Car
The Luftwaffe starter car, often referred to as a "starter cart" or "Flugzeugstartwagen," was a specialized vehicle used by the German Air Force during World War II.
Its primary role was to provide ground support for aircraft by supplying external power to start aircraft engines.
These vehicles typically housed auxiliary power units (APUs) or generators that could deliver the necessary electrical or mechanical energy to initiate engine ignition, especially under field conditions or in environments where onboard starters were insufficient or impractical.
Key Features:
Function: External power supply for engine starts.
Equipment: Typically included a generator or APU, control panels, and cables.
Usage: Commonly used for piston engines and early jet engines.
Transport Crate for Engine (Jumo 213)
The transport crate for the Jumo 213 engine was a robust and carefully designed container used to protect and transport the Junkers Jumo 213 aircraft engine.
This liquid-cooled V-12 piston engine, renowned for its application in aircraft such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 190D and the Messerschmitt Me 410, required safe handling due to its complexity and value.
The transport crate ensured the engine could be moved securely between factories, airfields, and maintenance facilities without damage.
Key Features:
Protection: Provided secure housing to prevent mechanical damage and environmental exposure.
Design: Constructed from wood or metal, with cushioning to absorb shocks and vibrations.
Components: Included secure fastenings and often custom fittings to match the engine’s dimensions and shape.
Both the starter car and the transport crate were essential in maintaining the operational readiness of Luftwaffe aircraft by facilitating engine management and logistics.
The Jumo 213's transport crate played a crucial role in preserving the engine's integrity during transit, ensuring that it could be efficiently installed and maintained on site.
